Spencer: Is Barack Obama still the president?
Me: He is. You're so smart to know that. Do you know [Wait] the name [Do I know the name] of the Vice President? [Please, please, please let Spencer know the name of the Vice President.]
Spencer: No. What is it? [Damn! It's not Dick Cheney. That was the last guy. It's not Dick Cheney. I can't get the name "Dick Cheney" out of my head!]
Me: Ummm. Just a second. [dialing Brandy. I can tell Brandy I can't remember the Vice President's name and she won't give me too much grief. JOE BIDEN! I'm gonna hang up. No. I can't hang up. By now the call has surely come through on her phone already.]
Brandy: Hello?
Me: I was calling to admit to you that I couldn't remember the Vice President's name. But, I DO know it! It's Joe Biden.
Brandy: [I don't know what she said next. I couldn't understand her through her laughter.]

maybe you should call and ask her the tree guy's name?
oh. now that's brilliant.
Ugh you gave me pause for a moment and I too thought of Cheney first (but couldn't come up with his first name). I did manage to come up with Biden before I read that you had too. Phew. I remember because Obama Biden signs creepily made me think they said Osama BinLaden if I lookd quickly and I thought that was just tooooooooo bizarre.
ha! I don't know what's more funny, that you thought you saw the name osama binladen every time you turned around, or that you couldn't remember the name "dick"!
Shit, I guess I better prepare for these pop quizzes...
yes. you do, kimberly. but, sadly, no one tells you what subject the quiz will cover. :-/
